Questions students ask

What do the Grade 1 Environmental Science cards cover?
12 cards across 5 chapters of the national textbook: የአካባቢያችን መገኛ, ሳይንስን መገንዘብ, ተፈጥሮአዊ አካባቢ, ማኅበራዊ አካባቢ and ድንበር ተሻጋሪ ጉዳዮች. You can take any chapter one card at a time on the page itself.
Is there a national exam in Grade 1?
No. Ethiopia sets national exams in Grade 6, Grade 8 and Grade 12 only. These cards are for your school's own exams, and for the national exam that comes a few years later.
Where do these cards come from?
They are drafted from Grade 1 Environmental Science, the Ministry of Education textbook for this grade. A second pass that cannot see the chapter then re-derives every formula, constant and table row, and anything it cannot confirm is held back instead of published.
Is this free?
Yes. Every card here is free to read and the printable sheet is free to download. Neither needs an account.
When was this last checked?
30 August 2026. Cards arrive chapter by chapter, and the line under each one says when that card was last read through.

Revise, then test yourself

Temari turns these cards into practice questions and marks them as you go, with an AI tutor to explain anything that did not land.
